Thierry Henry told he 'deserves' to be next Arsenal manager - 'It would be great'
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has been tipped to manage the club one day by his former France team-mate Louis Saha, who believes he "deserves" the opportunity to prove himself as a coach Thierry Henry has been backed to succeed Mikel Arteta as Arsenal manager one day, with his "unbelievable" football knowledge meaning he "deserves" the opportunity. Henry helped Arsenal win two Premier League titles and three FA Cups as a player. He also won the Champions League and two La Liga titles with Barcelona and the World Cup and Euros with France, before moving into coaching when he retired. Henry has since managed Monaco, Montreal Impact and the France under-21s. He also coached France at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning a silver medal after they were beaten by Spain in the final. And ex- Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes his former team-mate is now ready for a chance in the Premier League and says it would be "great to see him managing Arsenal". Speaking to BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League odds, Saha said: "I would like to see Thierry Henry manage in the Premier League and I think he deserves it. He loves football so much, and lots of other coaches have got opportunities when he hasn't. "Some guys retire and get big Premier League jobs and I don't always understand it. I think Thierry should get an opportunity and he has experience now. "He has improved as a manager and did really well with the French under 21s, despite not lifting the trophy in the end. His knowledge is unbelievable and it would be great to see him managing Arsenal one day." And Henry has previously admitted he would love to take charge of Arsenal, telling FourFourTwo back in 2021: "Listen, if you ask an Arsenal fan if they'd like to coach Arsenal one day, they'll say yes. "If you ask an Arsenal fan if they'd like to score a goal for Arsenal, they'll say yes. When I speak about it, it's a utopia. People get carried away whenever I say that it's my club, but I have it in my blood – I'm an Arsenal fan. "So if you're asking me if one day I'd like to coach Arsenal, then yes. If you ask if one day I'd like to be Arsenal's kit man, then yes. If you ask if one day I'd like to cut the grass at the Emirates Stadium, then yes. "If you ask me am I dreaming, yes I'm dreaming. But when you're not dreaming, you're awake and there is a reality. Would I love to coach Arsenal? Yes. Would I love to go to Barcelona? Yes. Would I like to play for Arsenal again? "I'd love to play for them again, but the reality is I can't! I'm on my learning curve, I want to do well for the team I'm coaching, then time will tell. If you're not successful, you're not going to have those types of opportunities. "I'm just concentrating on what I can control, and the rest is a massive utopia. Would I have liked to sing like Lionel Richie? Yes, but I don't sing like Lionel Richie!" Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Glorious Goodwood racing tips: Best bets and odds for day three
Thursday's Glorious Goodwood tips Marhaba Ghaiyyath (Goodwood, 13.20) – 0.5pt each-way @ 7/1 (Bet365) Coppull (Goodwood, 13.55) – 1pt win @ 10/3 (William Hill) Merchant (Goodwood, 14.30) - 1pt win @ 5/4 (Bet365) Whirl (Goodwood, 15.05) - 1pt win @ 11/8 (Bet365) Nad Alshiba Green (Goodwood, 15.45) – 0.5pt each-way @ 13/2 (Ladbrokes) Hey Tru Blue (Goodwood, 16.20) – 0.5pt each-way @ 6/1 (Bet365) Aylin (Goodwood, 16.55) – 1pt win @ 3/1 (Ladbrokes) Sea Force (Goodwood, 17.30) – 1pt win @ 7/1 (Betway) Coral Kincsem Handicap – 13.20 Goodwood After his close third at Royal Ascot, Best Secret will probably be all the rage here and, given that James Doyle rode his chief market rival, Marhaba Ghaiyyath when he went close at Newmarket last time, he'll have a good handle on their relative merits. However, he is also retained by Wathnan, who own the favourite and so he couldn't have chosen to stick with his Newmarket mount. Marhaba Ghaiyyath bypassed Royal Ascot and instead picked up a smaller race at Redcar but he should not be underestimated after that more recent effort on the July Course. He still looks pretty well treated off an official mark of 95 and he is going on for twice the price of the favourite. He looks well worth an each-way interest with solid odds on betting sites. Markel Richmond Stakes tips – 13.55 Goodwood We sided with Havana Hurricane last time out at Newbury and, agonisingly, he was 'done' on the line. Eve Johnson Houghton's colt is feared here but you couldn't help being very impressed with the effort of Coppull in the Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot. Admittedly, he was more than three lengths adrift of the winner Gstaad that day but the winner looks something special and that still counts as very smart form. That was just a second start for Clive Cox's Bated Breath colt. He is open to plenty of improvement and should prove tough to beat. HKJC World Pool Gordon Stakes tips – 14.30 Goodwood He's not going to be much of a price on horse racing betting sites, but Merchant arrives seeking a hat-trick and is selected to complete that feat, after at decisive win at York and then an improved, career best effort to win the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot last time. Both those races were over 1m4f and on a sound surface and he looks likely to get the same conditions again. Cases can certainly be made for Rahiebb and Wimbledon Hawkeye but the big danger on the day could turn out to be Galveston, whose trainer Aidan O'Brien has won this race three times in the past decade. Qatar Nassau Stakes tips – 15.05 Goodwood Just five runners have been declared for the focal point on day three, the Group 1 Nassau Stakes but it could still provide us with one of the best races of the week between the four-year-old See The Fire and the three-year-old Whirl, a year her junior. The Aidan O'Brien-trained Whirl is well treated with her age allowance, based on official ratings compared to if this were a handicap. While that doesn't always go to form, it would be some performance for See The Fire to topple Whirl in this. The latter proved herself in Group 1 company when runner-up in the Oaks at Epsom last month. She then bettered that when returning to Ireland to take the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh, when dropped back to 1m2f. That's the trip for this contest and it suits both the selection and her chief rival, who thrashed her field in a York Group 2 in May, before being a good third behind Ombudsman in the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot. Arguably, she has the best single piece of form to go into this race with but Whirl looks to have 7lb in hand and is taken to score. This looks absolutely wide open with the Glorious Goodwood odds market opening at 7/1 the field and one of the many towards the head of it looks likely to go well. That runner is Nad Alshiba Green, who has not been out of the first three in four starts this season and is admirably consistent. Mick Appleby's filly won the third of those four starts, a 5f sprint at Notttingham with a bit in hand. Up 6lb for that, she showed improvement when she stepped up in grade at Sandown last time, producing a career best to finish a close second. That upward curve is a positive for her to bring to this contest and, although it looks ultra competitive, she looks an each-way player with 16 runners declared and therefore four places to play for. Phase Eight Nursery Handicap tips – 16.20 Goodwood Another hugely competitive contest where cases can be made for plenty of them and the one that interests us most is Hey Tru Blue. George Boughey's colt began his career with a promising second in a Leicester maiden (6f, good), which connections felt was good enough to earn him a tilt at the Royal Ascot's Group 2 Norfolk Stakes. An SP of 33/1 was probably a fair reflection of his chance there and he beat just two home when rushed off his hooves over 5f. Back in maiden company and over 6f at Doncaster, he won a maiden with a fair bit in hand last time and his pedigree suggests that there will be more to come now stepped up further in trip, to 7f. He looks a nice each-way play to small stakes. Tatler British EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes tips – 16.55 Goodwood Shocks are rare in this contest, with just one double-figure priced winner in the past decade, while seven of the last 10 favourites have obliged and there could be another this time too, in the shape of Aylin. Karl Burke's filly showed clear promise despite being beaten at odds-on on debut, when she just got collared late on and lost no caste in being beaten a short head. She's entitled to come on a fair bit for that effort and she is taken to see it through to the line this time. World Pool Bet With The Tote Handicap tips – 17.30 Goodwood Another race where many have chances, not least the favourite on betting apps, Organ, who arrives seeking a four-timer after back-to-back Haydock wins followed by a C&D success last time. Martyn Meade's gelding may still be ahead of the handicapper and it would be no surprise if he added another win. However, there was plenty to like about the recent Ascot run by Sea Force, who was a close third on his first start since being gelded. That was a step up on his Nottingham maiden win that had preceded it. He still looks potentially well treated from the same mark. William Haggas has his string in fine fettle and the addition of cheekpieces he might just keep him upwardly mobile. He looks capable of going close.

Arsenal vs Tottenham live: Team news and line-ups with Viktor Gyokeres set to make debut
Arsenal and Tottenham will go to battle in new surroundings in what promises to be a highlight of pre-season in Hong Kong between the North London rivals. Marquee signing Viktor Gyokeres could make his highly-anticipated debut for the Gunners as Mikel Arteta's side look to produce a title challenge. While billed as a friendly, the first-ever pre-season North London derby to take place outside the UK also brings a chance at early bragging rights, with Thomas Frank looking to lay down a marker in a new era at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Another new arrival in Chrithian Mosquera could feature for the first time, with Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard and Kepa Arrizabalaga adding to a newlook Gunners outfit. Spurs, meanwhile, will hope to get back to winning ways after emerging victorious in neither of their two games on Saturday - fielding two separate XIs that drew with both Wycombe and Luton Town.
